Chapter 558

PS: Do not subscribe to this chapter for the time being! The previous chapter is being modified!

There is an old saying in the mouth of Zhongyuan Hall, which is called "There are people who melt gold, and the bones are destroyed."

For example, a story circulated in the Ming Dynasty before the 17th year of Jiashen, and even spread to the Qing Dynasty:

Speaking of the Hongwu period, a lieutenant and the mistress of his neighbor's house got into love. This woman was really beautiful. Even though the officers met countless people, they were still beneath the pomegranate skirt. Let's call this woman Xiaomei and the lieutenant "Lao Wang".

One day, Xiaomei's husband went out to work. When Lao Wang saw the man walking away, he slipped into the neighbor's room. Then, Lao Wang and Xiaomei started a passionate operation. However, just after a few rains, the yard door suddenly rang. Xiaomei's husband came back. In desperation, Lao Wang could only put on his shorts and turned over and crawled under the bed. Xiaomei cleaned up briefly, opened the door and asked, "Husband, why did you return halfway?"

Xiaomei's husband is a honest and honest man. Not only did he not doubt Xiaomei, but he was very caring about Xiaomei: "Wife, you were sleeping when I went out. I saw your feet exposed outside. I didn't care at that time, but when I walked out, I found it very cold. I felt that if the cold wind blew into the house, you might be in the cold. I came back to cover you with a quilt!"

Xiaomei acted coquettishly and told her husband not to worry, so Xiaomei's husband went out again.

If the story ends here, then it is nothing more than a story about the private meeting between Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ximen. The problem is that the story has not ended, because the person under the bed was suddenly moved, thinking that Xiaomei's husband treats her like this, and Xiaomei actually had an affair with her behind her husband, which was really shameless!

Well, Lao Wang felt that Xiaomei had an affair with him was a shameless act. After discovering his conscience, he simply crawled out of the bed and killed his lover Xiaomei with a knife. After the killing, he went to work.

By the way, Lao Wang was worth it and he should eat and drink. Xiaomei was in a bad mood. The old man who delivered food to Xiaomei's house knocked on the door many times but no one responded. After pushing the door directly, he found Xiaomei lying in a pool of blood.

The old man who delivered vegetables to Xiaomei's house was frightened and chose to report to the official after thinking twice. However, the old man was very unlucky because the Ming officials were all foolish. Based on the reasoning principle of "Why do you report the case if you are not killed?", he directly sentenced the old man who delivered vegetables to the death.

If the story ends here, it will be another unjust case. Disgusting people are enough to be disgusting, but it is not considered to be too bizarre. The problem is that the story does not end here. On the day of the execution, Lao Wang, who killed Xiaomei, appeared again and shouted: I killed my wife, how can I ask others to pay for her life?

When the prison officer saw that there was something wrong, he quickly reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang and finally arrived at Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was not vague and summoned Lao Wang directly and asked in person: "Why do you kill someone?"

The captain Lao Wang said frankly: "This woman is my neighbor. Because of her beauty, I got along with her. That day, her husband and I came back before she could finish the work. I hid under the bed and heard his husband's words. I felt that I was not a human being, but I was even more angry with this woman - her husband was so kind to her, but she cheated on her husband. So I killed Xiaomei. Later, I heard that the old man who sold vegetables was wrongly accused of being a murderer and was about to be beheaded. At that moment, I could no longer bear it. I should bear what I did myself!"

This is more than three thousand Jinshi!

This is really a rush to die!

After a while of silence, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then bowed his hands firmly and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask the Grand Commander to transfer the capital camp into the city, and then kill all the unofficial thieves after night!"

They are young, they are passionate, they are angry, they are flirting with the world, and they are unfavorable to all unfair things.

After thinking for a long time, Zeng Cheng tentatively advised: "Your Majesty, most of those students are idiots who are stupid in their studies. I think that as the Grand Governor said, they will be able to redeem their fame and fortune, and then rush back to the countryside and never use it. Why do you lose your reputation because of them?"

The description of this history in "History of Ming Dynasty" is "Xiaoru put his pen on the ground, cried and scolded, "Die he died, and the edict should not be waived." Chengzu was angry and ordered to build the market. The description of "The Veritable Records of Emperor Taizong" is "The treacherous ministers Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others came to the palace. The emperor counted their crimes and all of them were buried in the city."

Emperor Zhu sneered and said, "If you have any new news, why don't you tell me about it."

However, the "Taizong Records" which was modified by Ji Gou did not mention the fact that Fang Xiaoru was executed by the ten clans. Even the "History of Ming Dynasty" dedicated to smearing the Ming Dynasty did not record this. The books about Jianwen's loyal ministers such as "Lizhai Xianlu" and "Defeat Lu" written by Song Duanyi during the Chenghua period only wrote: "There is no such thing as "destroying the ten clans".

As we all know, the group of students is the most magical.

Including later generations, the joke that undergraduates are everywhere and junior colleges are not as good as dogs, is actually a nonsense.

And behind these people are thousands of families, which can easily involve tens of thousands of people!

When Zeng Cheng thinks of thousands of scholars and their families or families behind them, he feels dizzy.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Killing an unrighteous person and saving an innocent person is a good thing!" (Original text: Killing an unrighteous person will bring about an innocent person, but it is also good.)

Isn't it weird enough?

What is the lieutenant of the garrison and his wife in the neighbor's house, what is the incompetent official to judge unjust cases, and what is Zhu Yuanzhang's indistinguishable from right and wrong, not only has the connotation of Fengyuewen, but also gathers various reversals, and finally cleans up Lao Wang.

Similarly, there is the destruction of Fang Xiaoru's killing of the ten clans.

"History of Ming Dynasty" also records that after Fang Xiaoru and his brother Fang Xiaoyou were killed in Nanjing, Fang Xiaoru's wife Zheng and two of the four sons Fang Zhongxian, Fang Zhongxian, died of suicide after Fang Zhongxuan, and his two daughters also jumped into the river to commit suicide. However, this was not because of Zhu Di's "Yi tribe", but because his wife and daughter, the son died after her husband was killed.

It would be easy to say if this ideal is right, but what if the ideal they insist on is wrong?

For example, those silly slogans holding blank paper, those bastards who have begun to recover from the fireworks in the world - perhaps, the fireworks and fireworks are not connected to the fireworks?

Therefore, the passion of scholars is essentially a double-edged sword, which can easily hurt the enemy and oneself.

However, as soon as Zeng Cheng's words finished, the Jinyiwei Captain rushed over outside the hall, and whispered a few words to Ke Zhiming and left quickly.

The truth is this, but when they gathered outside the palace and shouted to abolish the ancestral system of "only students are not allowed", the nature of all this changed.

Anyone who knows this old man Zhu Zhishan should understand this when he sees this. This is another nonsense article that discredits Zhu Chongba.

Just when Zeng Cheng was already closing his eyes slightly to welcome the unknown fate, Liu Heming suddenly laughed and looked at Zeng Cheng and said, "Although Mr. Zeng is the chief minister of the cabinet, your cabinet cannot take care of our Five Army Governor's Office. Therefore, if you want to transfer troops, I, the Grand Governor, should order it."

However, Emperor Zhu sneered, stared at Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming coldly and said, "Do you know, what is the emperor?"

First of all, the Censorate Organizer wrote a letter to impeach Zeng Cheng and mobilized the livestock without authorization. The Censorate also wanted to find Zeng Cheng to have tea. Once they caught something, the waiting for Zeng Cheng may be a dead end.

Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes - as the saying goes, the King of Hell can't save the damn ghost, it's fine if these students run a good book and don't read it, but now they still have to go to Taimiao and Confucian Temple to cry?

Although it is certain that the Beijing camp entered the city to catch people, this order was issued directly by Emperor Zhu and Zeng Cheng. These are two completely different concepts - if Emperor Zhu directly issued an order to mobilize troops to arrest people and kill people, then all the blame would be Emperor Zhu. The cruel and bloodthirsty in history books would not be eliminated.

Then, Zhu Laosi asked Fang Xiaoru to write an edict to ascend the throne.

Even if the Censorate and the Censorate cannot catch Zeng Cheng's tail, will the relatives of the killed students think about killing Zeng Cheng?

As for whether the life and death of a country and nation are really at the critical moment, will those scholars dare not stand up because they lose their blood...

Emperor Zhu was so angry that he laughed, looking at Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming and said, "This is what you said is stupid to study? In my opinion, they are not too stupid, at least they know how to go to Taimiao to cry!"

This is also a non-sense method. After all, compared with the impact of etiquette and killing thousands of Jinshi at one time, it is so small that it is not even considered a fart!

Don’t forget that there is an old saying in the mouth of Zhongyuan Hall: People who are righteous are often slaughtering dogs, while those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars.

The difference between this is huge, and once Zeng Cheng takes the blame, what he waits for Zeng Cheng in the future will be overwhelming impeachment or even revenge assassination.

What a bullshit reason for this horse trampling!

Zhu Jinsong was unhappy and his face naturally became colder and colder: "They are willing to come, can I stop them? Don't you want to know what they want to do?"

On the contrary, Qian Qianyi, who was too cold, was born as a student of Donglin. Wang Zhaoming, who failed to assassinate the Regent Zaifeng, was born as a scholar.

After listening to Ke Zhiming's words, Zeng Cheng knew that today's matter was completely over. No matter whether Emperor Zhu was persuaded or whether he had any idea of ​​changing his decision, there was no room for any ease of ease.

Speaking of which, when Zhu Laosi looked at his acting crazy and foolish, he could not escape his nephew's evil hands, so he simply turned on Zhu Yunwen's place in anger. After the Yan army entered Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen disappeared. Zhu Laosi could only say helplessly, "This is my nephew's country after all. Now that he is missing, I, as an uncle, will temporarily become the emperor for him."

However, this does not mean that Emperor Zhu will spoil these students without restrictions.

It's over!

So, this story spread in the Ming Dynasty, but it only slowly spread after the Zhengde period. Before the Zhengde period, the Ming Dynasty had never heard of it from the emperor to the people, because this was a story recorded in "Previous News".

As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and an old man who was a prefect in the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Cheng could not have known the risks here - that is, when Zeng Cheng made this suggestion, he was ready to die.

Emperor Zhu couldn't help but glance at Zeng Cheng unexpectedly.

However, by Zeng Cheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, directly raised it, it means that Zeng Cheng took the initiative to take the blame for the murderer. Although Emperor Zhu may have a reputation of unknown recognition, at least he will not be known for his cruelty and bloodthirsty.

Ke Zhiming had a gloomy face and bowed to worship, "I will tell you, the students... those students shouted slogans and wanted His Majesty to leave the palace to see them. They also said that if His Majesty did not leave the palace to see them, they would go to the Taimiao and the Confucian Temple to cry."

But killing three thousand students is an unprecedented event!

More importantly, these three thousand Jinshis have only arrived outside the palace, and there are more people who have not arrived on the way!

Yue Wumu is not a scholar in the traditional sense. The teacher had been in the army for half a year before entering Hunan No. 1 Normal School.

All they care about is the ideals they agree with.

A real college student is a real treasure and a scarce human resource.

Force the emperor to modify the ancestral system is equivalent to denying Zhu Chongba. Negating Zhu Chongba is equivalent to denying the correctness of Emperor Zhu's ascension from the root.

The sky is about to collapse!

Negate an emperor who will conquer the world immediately...

Regarding Emperor Zhu’s question, let alone Zeng Cheng, who was well-read in poetry and books, even Liu Heming, who was born in the army, knew the meaning of the emperor.

But their biggest problem is that they think they are very smart and easily fooled.

After saying that, Liu Heming bowed to Emperor Zhu again, "Your Majesty, I am just a waste of material that cannot be supported by the mud. You ask me to study more, but I just can't read it anyway. This is also impossible."

"But no matter how stupid I am, I remember the hardship of falling sweat beads when I was farming, and I remember the hard days when I was awakened from hunger in the middle of the night but could only drink water to fill my hunger. I also know one truth - the popularization of social sciences and county schools and government schools is to allow everyone in the world to read and understand the truth, so that everyone in the world has a way out, and no longer has to be blind like we were back then."

"Those bastards are now calling for restoration of Kexing, but they have become juren masters. They don't want more people to become juren masters. They want to cut off other people's ways out, and they want to play tricks on the world as before."

Liu Heming took a deep breath and continued, "Please forgive me for your crime. I will transfer the capital camp into the city without an imperial edict to quell the rebellion!"
